I am at my wits end!(searched already)

ok i have now checkd almost everything to try to find this problem my 700r4 engages real hard from park to drive and park to reverse. i check the mounts they are all good also there is a big clunk when shifting from 2nd to 3rd and also when shifting from 2nd to 1st. i thought it possibly could be a very loose rear end chceked that with my mechanic everthing is tight and the u joints are still good. the only thing left is where the driveshaft enters the tail shaft of the tranny could this be where the problem is coming from *** someone help me out also advise me of what any one has done to fix this problem. i did search and came up with all that i have checked so please help me out

i'd look at the trans mount again, if it's oem type there's just about no way it isn't broken, or about to break.

yeah i am going to take my car down to my dads shop tomorrow and jack her up and check her out plus i don't konw how good my dads mechanic really looks at my car cause he hates it so. i guess im on my own for finding the problem but this stil doesn't make sense of the big jerk going into D or OD or R that may be the rear end but yet again he said he checked it. is it possibel that it could be where the drive shaft enters the tailshaft or the tranny

Transmission mount, low fluid, bad U-Joints, bad differential gears, loose pinion nut, bad TQ arm mount and high engine idle will all cause this problem.
